Assignment 4: Counting sensor input

Using any sensor you like (a switch is okay) and any actuators you like (LEDs are okay) build something that counts events as detected by the sensor. For example, you could build a mat that counts the number of times you jump on it, and lights an LED brighter as you jump on it more. Or, you could use several LEDs to indicate the count – the more LEDs that are lit, the higher the count. Choose any sensors and actuators you like – and feel free to build this into a first exploration toward a future project. Bring to class on Tuesday to demonstrate.
